Iga Swiatek’s new coach gives insight into plans to beat the likes of Aryna Sabalenka.

After disappointing grass-court and North American hard-court swings, Swiatek announced earlier in October that she had parted company with Tomasz Wiktorowski after three successful years together.

Nineteen of Swiatek’s 22 WTA singles titles – including four majors – came under the tutelage of Wiktorowski, but the 23-year-old felt she was “ready to take the next step of my career” as she opted to look for a new coach outside of Poland.

She turned to Fissette and he comes with a Grand Slam-winning pedigree as he guided Kim Clijsters (3), Angelique Kerber (1) and Naomi Osaka (2) to major trophies.

He hopes to have similar success with Swiatek, but he wants the Pole to start winning major titles on surfaces away from her beloved clay.

“Our goal is for Swiatek to start adding more Grand Slam titles on other surfaces as well. The clay-court season has its own twists. There are a lot of matches and tournaments played in a short period of time,” he told Eurosport Poland.

“You need to get into a rhythm, gain confidence, and after Paris it’s time to switch to other surfaces. Then there will be an opportunity to work on playing on other surfaces and try to succeed there.”
